New Delhi: Team Australia have just one warm-up match in their hand to get into the groove ahead of the much anticipated limited-over series against Virat Kohli-led India as they gear up to face the Board President's XI in Chennai, on Tuesday. (IND BPXI vs Australia - LIVE)
The squad will make a return back to Indian soil. Almost seven months earlier, the team from Down Under had faced a 1-2 defeat in the four-match Border-Gavaskar series played in India. They then travelled to Bangladesh where they pulled a 1-1 draw in the two-match Test series. And now they are back to India for a five-match ODI series followed by a T20I. Can Steve Smith's men create an upset over the in-form Indian side, is a huge question indeed. Ergo, the practice match to read the conditions and prepare a plan for the first match in Chennai.
The tourists are up against Gurkeerat Singh Mann-led Board President's XI, a team filled with rookies who had picked up limited experience during this year's IPL season.
